The bill was introduced to by state Rep. Matt Krause who says the inspiration for the new law was a 2015 incident in which police in the town of Overton shut down a lemonade stand being run by two young girls who were trying to raise money to take their dad to a water park for Father's Day. Officials told them they needed a $150 permit in order to sell lemonade on their front lawn, which was more money than the $100 they had hoped to raise.

The new law will allow children to run a lemonade stand on both private and public property without a permit or fear that local officials will make them pack up and go home.
